# My Bowling 3D vs Real Pool 3D

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Real Pool 3D at 68K against My Bowling 3D's 6.5K. Real Pool 3D also leads on chart position (#147 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). My Bowling 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Bowling 3D sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Real Pool 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for My Bowling 3D against 4.6 for Real Pool 3D. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Real Pool 3D has 68K ratings behind it against 6.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of My Bowling 3D's written reviews are positive against 67% of Real Pool 3D's.

My Bowling 3D ships an update every 3 months, Real Pool 3D every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
